Abstract: Some aspects of the technology described herein relate to configuring an ultrasound device to perform a three-dimensional ultrasound imaging sweep, and displaying ultrasound images and segmented portions of the ultrasound images as the ultrasound images are collected during the three-dimensional ultrasound imaging sweep. Certain aspects relate to displaying an ultrasound image collected by an ultrasound device and configuring the ultrasound device to perform a three-dimensional ultrasound imaging sweep based on the ultrasound image collected by the ultrasound device.

Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein include determining, during ultrasound imaging, that an anatomical region is clipped by a field of view of an ultrasound image, and providing a notification, during the ultrasound imaging, that the anatomical region is clipped by the field of view of the ultrasound image. Aspects of the technology described herein also include determining that an anatomical region is clipped by a field of view of at least one ultrasound image collected during a three-dimensional ultrasound imaging sweep, and providing a notification that the anatomical region is clipped by the field of view of the at least one ultrasound image collected during the three-dimensional ultrasound imaging sweep.

Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein relate to methods and apparatuses for enable a user to manually modify an input to a calculation performed based at least in part on an ultrasound image. In some embodiments, manually modifying the input comprises manually modifying a trace on the image. In some embodiments, manually modifying the input comprises manually selecting an ultrasound image from a series of ultrasound images on which a calculation is to be performed.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for providing indications of missing landmarks in ultrasound images are described. Some embodiments are directed to apparatuses comprising a processing device configured to obtain data representing an ultrasound image, and determine whether the ultrasound image is clinically usable, wherein the determining comprises determining whether the ultrasound image lacks one or more landmarks. Determining whether the ultrasound image is clinically usable may further comprise determining a quality value representative of a quality of the ultrasound image and comparing the quality value to a threshold quality value. In some embodiments, landmarks comprise one or more anatomical features, such as a rib, a pleural line and an A line, a liver, and a kidney.

Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein relate to automatically calculating an ultrasound pulse transmission direction and configuring an ultrasound device to transmit ultrasound pulses along the ultrasound pulse transmission direction for pulsed wave Doppler ultrasound imaging. Automatically calculating the ultrasound pulse transmission direction may be based on a selected sample volume within a subject where flow velocity is to be measured with the pulsed wave Doppler ultrasound imaging, and a selected direction of the flow velocity to be measured with the pulsed wave Doppler ultrasound imaging.
